Do you need to be rich to get married abroad?

This is something that my Fiancée and I researched the other day, purely and simply because we were interested in getting married overseas in a nice warm and sunny country. All we kept on hearing was that we would not be able to put the money together to afford this. So straight away I put the idea out of my mind.

So we set off looking for where we could get married, tallying up lists of possible venues and churches. There was a problem though almost all of these wedding venues including a reception for almost a hundred people afterwards was going to cost us about fifteen thousand pounds. However when I started to think about it, what did these people really know, none of them were experts at this sort of thing?

In the end i caved in, I just wanted to find out for myself how much these weddings were. Now no prizes for any of you that guess how i then approached my wedding, I decided to just go ahead and book it, a week in St Lucia, wedding included. For as little amount as five thousand pounds sterling. Then it occurred to me that people would have to pay for their flights to come over to our wedding, which in a way made this even better. It meant that the only people that came to your wedding would be those that really care about you, and anyway they are getting a holiday out of it! Then it was all sorted out, it would be one year later and we would be married in the Caribbean.

Weddings abroad are a choice to all of us, try not to consider them as luxury holidays, however you do get spoiled, apparently Maldives holidays are the best for honeymoons!
